Charlotte Street-LloydCole

[ti:Charlotte Street] [ar:Lloyd Cole And The Commotions] [al:Rattlesnakes] [offset:0] [00:20.28]I was looking for a rhyme for the New York Times [00:23.85]When I sensed I was not alone [00:27.35]She said "do you know how to spell 'audaciously'?" [00:31.48]I could tell I was in love [00:34.72]And so I forced a smile contrary to my style [00:38.28]And she looked into my eyes [00:42.10]She said "do you want to go heaven, [00:45.35]Or would you rather not be saved? [00:48.85]Here comes my train [00:56.17]I'm on my way, will you not see? [01:02.72]I don't need your sympathy [01:06.04]I won't read your poetry, oh sweetness please [01:21.79] [01:25.73]So she took me back to her basement flat [01:28.66]Which was down on Charlotte Street [01:32.60]Though it was never my intention [01:35.17]We were not intense, not least because-- [01:39.04]"Well. if you must just take, then I'm a piece of cake" [01:43.17]That is what she said to me [01:46.85]And so I gave myself to her charity [01:50.48]Well at least that's how it seemed [01:54.00]Here comes my train [02:01.12]I'm on my way, what got into me? [02:07.31]I don't need your sympathy [02:10.93]I won't read your poetry, oh bittersweets [02:31.37] [02:59.50]I was looking for a rhyme for the New York Times when I was distracted [03:06.37]Yes, those were precious times together that we wasted [03:13.76]Now I'm working hard for my union card [03:17.57]I must be leaving Charlotte Street [03:21.32]Though it was never my intention to stay so long [03:28.51]So long
